Students first.
 Parents first.
 Colleagues first.
 Family first. 

And somewhere along the way, you move yourself to the bottom of the list. 

In this episode, we talk about what happens when you are consistently last — how it affects your patience, your energy, and your ability to sustain the work you care about. 

This isn’t about fixing you.
 It’s about noticing what’s been happening quietly over time. 

Because teachers deserve more than survival.
 They deserve sustainable. 

Whether you’re listening on a Monday morning or later in the week, this episode is a reminder: 

You don’t have to earn maintenance.
 You don’t have to collapse to justify care.
 And you deserve to be somewhere in the order. 

As always… we’re doing this slowly — one layer at a time — together. 🤍 

We’re not here to fix.
We’re here to notice. 

If this helped, pass it to another teacher who might need it. 

Until next time… 

give yourself the same care you give everyone else.
